Saturday-Night Theatre: The Bohemians

Sat 20th Sep 1986, 19:00 on BBC Radio 4 FM

By David Nathan, based on Henri Murger's "Scenes de la vie de boheme"

Bohemia is a district of Paris bordered on the north by cold, on the west by hunger, on the south by love and on the east by hope. It is a stage in artistic life, a prologue to the Academy, the hospital or the morgue.
Murger's book inspired the two operas of Puccini and Leoncavallo entitled La boheme.
